   But I want to highlight this particular randomized snippet.

   "You can play a part in reducing air pollution. Many car trips are less than 3 kilometres: an average person can cycle 3 kilometres in under 15 minutes."

   As we all know this insane wildfire season is caused by climate change, which is largely the result of our heavy consumption of oil and gas, from both industry and consumers.

   I ride 6.5 km each way to work every day, and that only takes me 20 minutes in the summer (about half an hour in the winter). That's with nearly half my time stopped for traffic controls.

   So the snippet from Environment Canada is actually very generous. You can probably do a lot better than they say.

   But, what I do know, is trying to enforce bullshit bans on tech you have zero fucking actual knowledge of?

   All you're gonna do is make people (in this case, KIDS) better at evading your controls.

   So... good?
